[PATCH v6 24/29] x86/build: Assert for unwanted sections

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Aug 21 2020 - 15:45:39 EST


In preparation for warning on orphan sections, enforce other
expected-to-be-zero-sized sections (since discarding them might hide
problems with them suddenly gaining unexpected entries).
